President Donald Trump is preparing to lock down the southern border like never before, and this time, the U.S. military is getting involved in a way that activist judges and radical leftists can’t stop.
Reports indicate that Trump’s team is working on plans to establish a military-controlled buffer zone along the U.S.-Mexico border—a move that would allow active-duty troops to assist border patrol without violating the Posse Comitatus Act. The first phase is reportedly planned for New Mexico, with potential expansion into California.
How does it work? By designating this 20-yard-wide stretch of land as a U.S. military installation, the plan effectively puts illegal crossers on a military base, where trespassing laws apply. That means troops can hold them—not “detain” them in a legal sense, but hold them for civilian law enforcement. It’s a legal masterstroke designed to outmaneuver leftist activists who would rather see America overrun by illegal immigration.
This bold move comes as Trump has already sent over 10,000 troops to the border, and illegal crossings have dropped by an astonishing 80-90% since Trump returned to office. But Trump isn’t just playing defense—he’s going on the offensive to make sure illegal immigrants can’t even get a foot in the door.
The best part? The Pentagon doesn’t need congressional approval to transfer up to 5,000 acres of land to military control, meaning Trump can bypass do-nothing lawmakers and get the job done. The radical left will undoubtedly try to block it in court, but Trump’s team is crafting the plan with precise legal language to shut them down before they even get started.
This military buffer zone could be the final nail in the coffin for Biden’s open-borders disaster. Trump promised the toughest border policies in U.S. history—and folks, he’s delivering.
